Ito came to work as usual to watch the children. She was a top ranked educator at the academy and tutored many up and coming Shinobi of Konoha. Ebisu was a close friend of Ito's with an excellent track record at the academy. It was a challenge for her when Neji approached her offering her an assignment to watch over his children as they were five years old and starting to show potential. He also knew that because of the nature of his job the children needed extra attention. She didn't think about being a governess or private tutor but she loved children and knew TenTen well.

Ito watched over the children providing them security and taught them as they grew. Whenever Neji or TenTen were busy with missions or other Shinobi duties she would care for them. When TenTen lost her memories Ito stepped up watch over the children when Neji was away. Neji trusted her and altough they hadn't planned for her to become a sort of nanny things worked out as she loved the children.

TenTen greeted Ito and dismissed her surprising the woman. Ito listened as TenTen explained that her memories had started to come back. Ito congratulated her genuinely grateful for her recovery. Ito left as TenTen shut the door and went back to building a fort with her boys.

Neji was away and TenTen had the house to herself. Now that she had her memory back pieces of the puzzle came together. She was really private so of course Gai and Lee wouldn't discuss her relationship with Neji. They knew of course and were trying to let her figure things out herself. Thinking that if they said nothing TenTen would return to herself naturally.

She wasn't herself for a while and moments like the following made her cringe:

"Oh, am I dressed so provocatively?"

"What kind of style did I have then," she asked then cut him off before he could answer saying, "How could I possibly win over a guy like you looking frumpy."

"Well I'm picturing a short-haired frumpy tomboy."

"Was I a fat girl?"

The fact that Neji no longer had his curse seal never occurred to her before because she had no reason to ask about it. Now a familiar worry came over her about the future of their children. Neji lost the seal when he died and when he revived it didn't comeback. He wasn't about to be branded voluntarily either. In fact the influence of Naruto impacted the clan who generally left Neji alone. Of course the Hokage seat couldn't interfere with clan affairs so things could change. That worried TenTen but she got the sense that worried Neji more.

TenTen also had concerns she'd sort out soon about the reason for her memory loss. She just didn't have all the answers to tell Neji and she didn't want him getting upset for no reason. She would face her father first.
